I love each movie in this series. This one was the best by the tiniest little bit because they are all amazing.

What I really loved about Day One is that we truly get to see and learn about these creatures. They play a small part on-screen at the end in the first and a bit more screentime but still lacking in the second.

In this one? *spoilers* We see their feet and how they walk, the way they use their heads to not only listen, but feel. We see how their heads open and follow the sound. It wasn't until this film that I realized they aren't even eating us! They really just hate sound! We get to see a nest, their food, and the patterns that their feet make as they run along buildings.

*end spoilers* I simply loved how much we got to see them and learn about them.

The acting was incredible. The chemistry was there. I loved how Eric was scared. Not just putting on a brave face and being the strong man. He was terrified and we saw it many times and it was so real, human, and true. And Samira was everything.

This movie was the loudest of all of them too. It was made for theaters. By not being too quiet of a movie I had a pleasent experience all 6 times I went to see it.

I'm here to pre-order this set because I absolutely need this in my budding collection.

We wanted to buy this. And would have bought this. But there was no all in one three in one, dvd, blue ray, and digital code. What business or concern is it of the hollywood production companies, which device we watch the movies on? DVD is in the garage. Blue ray is in the living room. Digital is flexible elsewhere. I recall the last two Quiet place movies was an all in one, dvd, blue ray, and digital, and they are nicely organized on our movie shelf in the small blue case. So how is this supposed to work for us? We'll try to fit in a big black case next to the old small case? We'll get disorganized and keep the brand new summer blockbuster movie, with the 15 and 20 year old black case tired old dusty movies on the other shelf? Someone did not think this through. And we're not going to buy the movie twice either. That's a dozen or so movies we would have bought brand new release but did not due to these changes in consumer friendly packaging. We'll find it at the good will or thrift store instead. If xfinity comcast does not offer quiet place three within six months with a commercial or something anyways. You guys are missing out, we're not playing these games. It's like buying a frozen burrito, but all one gets is the hollowed out tortilla, and the beans come in another box, for sale seperately, and then it's the consumers problem to put everything together. The product seems like it's missing components to come without the dvd, or come without the blue case. Maybe the managers whom made these product presentation decisions are the ones missing something upstairs. What do you hate the environment and want to push more big disposable black dvd cases out there again? I thought we were done with those, because for the last decade all the new blockbusters came in the small blue cases. We're not playing this game and are boycotting all new movies which have split up packaging this way. We bought monkey man instead of last weeks new release, even though we'd never even seen the trailer. Because it had three in one, blue ray, dvd, and digital all in one packaging. And we bought Ghostbusters, even though we probably would have passed on that one. There was only two new release movies with all in one dvd, blue ray, and digital codes, so we bought those instead. This is not rocket science people but if you want to treat us so poorly, that's fine, we won't buy these products. We would have bought the movie, if they would not have botched the physical packaging right at the finish line. How embarrassing for all the people whom put in the hard work for these movies, only to see split up product staging on the shelf. Even grocery stores stopped carrying dvd's due to this, they said they simply don't have enough space. Neither do consumers whom actually buy the movies guys. We don't want the big black cases, and we still do want the dvd. Deal with it, we're not flexible on the matter. All in one dvd, blue ray, and digital codes, or we're going back to the waiting cycle and will buy everything opportunistically at the thrift store or second hand, or simply wait the cycle out until we catch it on cable. You want our new release movie dollars? There is no other way than to provide all in one. I'm still annoyed as all can be that the new top gun and gran turismo movies are in the big black case. I had to buy them dvd because that's where my amazing sound system is at. How annoying we can't watch them inside. Just takes away the feeling of a new movie, to have to handle it in the old big annoying black case. What happened to the metal case trends? Metal case presentations w/ all in one are awesome. I'll literally never get over it which is why we're taking this position. My friends were complaining too, they feel shafted by getting less instead of more. At least leave the portions the same. What is the point of this particular brand of downsizing the product? The dvd media and blue ray media press at product scale only cost a dollar from the manufacturer pressing companies. If you need to charge an extra dollar to furnish an all in one, just charge that, stop shorting the consumer please. Thank you. Besides, Emily Blunt made the series happen, we're not too excited about any cast swap outs. We'll get to know if the movie was any good, eventually. But not today. Not today.

This is a review of the theatrical version.

It’s no secret to anyone that Hollywood passed the point of creative exhaustion some years back, but still keeps staggering on, putting out remakes, reboots, sequels, and prequels, to anything that might remotely have a pre-existing audience. It’s why we’re getting new installments of franchises that began in the ‘80s and ‘90s with now middle-aged actors trying to make lightning strike again playing characters they originated in their late 20s and early 30s. It’s kind of sad to watch this relentless mining of intellectual property just because a corporation owns an “asset.” What is more, it means there are very few new franchises launched these days as all the creative energy goes into trying to make dead horses get up and race again…see STAR WARS, STAR TREK, and THE TERMINATOR among many others. But one of the few original scifi series to come about in the 2010s is the QUIET PLACE films, written by actor John Krasinski, with an assist from Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, with the first two films being directed by Krasinski, in which both of them gave us a new take on the old alien invasion/end of civilization trope. Seen from the POV of a family of survivors, they told the story of how Earth has been decimated by the arrival of monstrous creatures without eyes, but incredibly enhanced hearing to make up for the lack of vision. These monsters, who are basically a huge head supported by long legs, with an equally huge mouth filled with very sharp teeth. They have the nasty disposition to kill anything they hear moving, and can strike with the speed of lightning; to survive, humans must not make a sound 24/7, or speak not above a whisper only if something like running water muffles their voices. It was a premise that made for some harrowing and suspenseful situations in the first two films, and their success guaranteed there would be a third film, which for many franchises often proves to be a bridge too far as they stretch the story until it breaks.

DAY ONE delivers on the promise of its title, though the action takes place across several days in a decimated New York City. The film opens just a few hours before a shower of meteorites descend upon a very loud NYC, and all the unsuspecting people there. That is one of the strengths of this film: we know the monsters are coming, and know what they are capable of, and fear for the people onscreen right from the beginning. The film’s main character, who we are introduced to right up front, is Samira, a young woman played by Lupita Nyong’o. She is in hospice care due to a terminal cancer diagnosis, a fate she may be resigned to, but still very angry about, and something she makes no secret to hide. When it all hits the fan, Samira, knowing her fate is not a good one no matter what happens, decides she will walk to Harlem to get a slice of pizza from her favorite place one last time. In the face of certain annihilation, it is a gesture meant to hold onto her humanity. Her only companion when she starts out is her comfort cat, Frodo, but she soon crosses paths with Eric, a British law student, played by Joseph Quinn, who is suffering from acute shock, and tags along with her. How these characters negotiate an incredibly hostile environment without making a sound, and what will be their eventual fates, is what takes up the bulk of the story. This is where the film, directed by Michael Sarnoski, really shows its strengths because you really get invested in these characters, genuinely fear for them knowing the monsters are always lurking, and really root for them. This is something another recent monster film, GODZILLA MINUS ONE, did very well also. Nyong’o and Quinn have really good chemistry playing two characters who likely would never have interacted in the normal world, but now have to depend on each other in an apocalypse. There are no mock heroics with these two, who, along with Frodo in tow, make their way through a shattered NYC without making a sound, even though more than once being required to race through streets, make their way into a flooded subway, and lurk furtively around corners to stay alive. They resist the urge to make Nyong’o a movie girl boss who learns to kick alien butt and shame all the men around her (this is not a Disney film), and Quinn is not the hapless male who must be saved by a strong woman, as both characters come to each other’s support when it is needed. The film keeps the unfolding disaster right at street level, never going outside the POV of the main characters, often blurring backgrounds to give the impression that they are seeing events through traumatized eyes. Many of the scenes are clearly meant to invoke memories of 9/11; most haunting is a sequence of survivors trudging through the streets to reach boats on the river that can evacuate them to safety, and the sight of someone pushing a loved one in a squeaking wheelchair will induce instant anxiety. The special effects to not overwhelm, which is a good thing; how many times have we seen NYC decimated in some kind of sci-fi film catastrophe—INDEPENDENCE DAY, I AM LEGEND, and CLOVERFIELD come easily to mind. And it does seem that the same people who are in charge in LEGEND are calling the shots in DAY ONE because they do blow the bridges again in just the same way. And Djimon Hounsou, always a welcome sight, shows up playing the same character from A QUIET PLACE II.

One of the best things I can say about A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE is that it gives us a resolution which feels earned and appropriate, paying off what the rest of the film has been building toward. With three films in the can, it would surely be a good place to end this franchise, but everyone knows that is not about to happen. But by shifting the location, and introducing new protagonists, it has proven that the series still has legs. I just hope they don’t run it into the ground.
